Garden Tales for children slated July 15 at Derby Public Library

 

Step into a world of stories, sunshine, and garden magic with Miss Kerry the Book Fairy!

Join us in the community garden behind the library for a magical morning of books, songs, and nature-inspired fun.

Children and their caregivers will enjoy enchanting stories, playful rhymes, and a chance to explore the garden as we celebrate the wonder of plants, pollinators, and the joy of reading together.

Bring a small blanket or lawn chair for extra comfort and let your imagination bloom!

Rain or shine, storytime will go on - in case of inclement weather, we'll move inside and reschedule the garden portion for another day!

Recommended for preschoolers and older (geared for ages 4+), but all are welcome!

Registration recommended to reserve supplies, but all are welcome while supplies last!

Please register each child separately so we know how many friends to expect!
